Kettle for hot water

The temperature of the water you will use will range from 90.5°C to 96.1°C. To achieve this, the ideal way is to use a gooseneck kettle . This particular kettle provides pouring precision as its gooseneck spout allows you to pour the water exactly where you want it at a steady rate, which is an important factor in manual flow coffee brewing. The flow pattern is customizable but usually consists of a combination of concentric circles starting from the center of the coffee.

Here you will find kettles suitable for the pour-over brewing method.

Having a temperature indicator on the kettle provides another level of precision as it allows absolute control of the water temperature for optimal temperature extractions.

Thermometer to check the temperature

As we already mentioned, measuring the temperature of the water is a determining factor for the success of pour over brewing. Changes in temperature greatly affect the taste of coffee and contribute to the creation of different flavor profiles. Even if your kettle does not have a built-in thermometer, you can simply use an external thermometer .

Scale for accurate dosing

Coffee varies in density, so it is more accurate to measure it in grams instead of tablespoons which can be more unprofitable. The scale is the way that allows you to weigh the amount of coffee with gram precision to ensure the correct adherence to the dosage of the coffee you will use and to always enjoy the same stable result. This way you can also check the ratio of coffee to water, using the scale to weigh the final product. With the manual approach required by the method it can be difficult to visually judge the quantities you want to use. A precision scale will eliminate any uncertainty.

Grinder for freshly ground coffee

Grinding the coffee correctly is perhaps one of the most important steps in the extraction process, as the degree of grind can dramatically change the taste of the coffee. When it comes to the degree of grinding there are two main factors that matter. First, the time during which the ground coffee comes into contact with the water. Additionally, the speed at which water passes through the coffee. This means you should start with a medium grind size and then evaluate your cup and modify it as xhe cares Invest in a quality grinder to make sure the coffee is properly ground, free of defects that can affect your cup resulting in a weak or strongly unpleasant tasting coffee.

It is a time-consuming and specialized process that rewards your effort in the final cup.
